CLACHURCH.COMWELCOMEI’m very excited to present you this magazine. Last Spring we released our newmissions statement for CLA. “Joining God in transforming our lives, neighbourhood,nation and world.” We are going to accomplish this mission by Gathering, Growing,Serving and Going. This document will help. It presents opportunities and illustrationsfor meaningful engagement in our church mission.Whatever your age or stage of life, you can be involved, you need to be involved.This Fall, make it your goal to connect with your church family in a deeperway. Come and join us on Sundays but also through a mid-week Connecting Point.Allow yourself to grow spiritually. Grow in faith, in love and in spiritual disciplines.As you let the Holy Spirit to fill you, He will propel you forward in servanthood.Church is not a selfish pursuit, all about “me”, but rather it is an opportunity to helpothers discover and grow in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This maymean stepping out of your comfort zone, taking a risk, doing something new. Doit! God will bless your step of faith and obedience. As you “Go” into your sphere ofinfluence, you will take the compassion of Christ with you. The Spirit will anoint you.You will make both our church and community better. God has plans for you in theseason ahead. Exciting!Can I encourage you to share your stories of faith, ministry and witness withme? I love to read emails or listen to people recall how God is at work in their lives.This magazine will illustrate some of these stories, but I know there are many more.CLA is a church family of 3500 people, five generations of Christ followers, learningfrom each other. Our children, youth, young adults, adults and seniors are workingtogether to “spur one another on to love and good deeds”(Hebrews 10:24). We areworking together to be “the light of the world”, “the salt of the earth” (Matthew 5).God is at work. Together, we celebrate this. Be encouraged.Let’s connect with God’s vision for us.DERRICK HAMRE, LEAD PASTOR3
